CISCO AND ORANGE SKY:
RECONNECTING AUSTRALIA’S HOMELESS
In 2014, two young blokes from Queensland, Nic Marchesi and Lucas Patchett, did something truly inspirational that would dramatically improve the lives of tens of thousands of people around Australia.They started providing free laundry services to people experiencing homelessness.
They had an old van, put a couple of washing machines and dryers in the back, and took to the streets. Orange Sky Australia was born.
Today, just three years later, Orange Sky is a nationwide operation, and its mission has evolved from providing clean clothes to positively connecting communities. Cisco Start is playing a key part in that evolution.
